There’s a ton of excitement beyond our ho-hum tail wagging we do every day at The Watering Bowl. New location, new home for Butt Sniffers Academy, new employees coming on board. It’s all positive, and we are enjoying every minute of it.
And one of the biggest pieces of news is that we are adding a partner to go along with our third location (ahem, at 5215 Manchester Ave). Jim Conger, our new Alpha Dog, has been getting his hands dirty at all three of our doggy daycare facilities, and he took a short break to tell us a little more about who he is, what he’s been doing and what he’s looking forward to.

Take a read.

Jim Conger, Alpha Dog

Jim, you already have the job, so we’ll try not to make this interview too strenuous.

The times they are a-changin’ around The Watering Bowl. We thought we were all cutting edge way back in 2010 when we integrated Facebook into everything we did. How quaint.

There we were with new toys to play with, and everyone just loved all the interaction and connectivity.

Well, nowadays, we’re operating on a whole new level. Multiple social media channels, including Twitter, Instagram and probably some others we haven’t even heard of keep our owners up-to-date on everything TWB. Plus, we’re pretty sure we have our own, unsanctioned version of Uber for dogs in the form of The Waggin’ Wagon. But that’s a whole other thing (no taxicab commission approval necessary).

In this edition of Dog Smarts, we get to hear from the highly-regarded Paul F. Knubley, DVM. He is the owner and sole practitioner at Oakville Veterinary Office, not too far from our South County location.

Around The Watering Bowl, dogs usually get all the credit for being loyal. And it makes sense. They come in, day after day, and they’re always happy to be here.

But we also appreciate loyalty when we see it from our staffers. And we think your dogs do, too. Today, we’d like to recognize a staffer who’s been with us for three years. And, go figure, he was originally referred to us by his dog, Lucy.
